I upload my papers through Researchgate. I know that it may not be legal to do so, but it is password protected, and hasn't been challenged by too many publishers. Sharing this way makes great sense for the author. You want people to r

I don't want to see the details, but this is a case where I think the details matter. Attacking the beliefs of a religion is not productive and indicates a problem for me. Attacking a religion based on human rights issues or politica

That only shows they haven't purchased it on Amazon . If they didn't want to enable reviews for items not purchased with your Amazon account that limit would already be in place. It is very hard for Amazon to prove they didn&#x27

The lightning port to charge all of your devices is interesting. I kind of like the idea that the phone charger you have laying around anyway[0] can be used to charge all of your battery powered devices. The new Siri Remote for Apple TV has

I always assumed it had some military symbolism. In the Army, all of the Special Forces jobs are 18 series (18A, 18B...).

I like the idea a lot. This is one of the cases where most people try to fix something by calling even though they would be much better off sending in a form letter. Check your contract. It probably says something along the lines of "s

That is only a fair comparison if you live in the same area. Where you live impacts your insurance cost a lot.

10 months ago I accidentally let my membership lapse, and I am pretty sure that only the paid apps were pulled. If I am not paying attention in January maybe I will test it again to confirm this winter.

Low earth orbit is about 8km/sec. That means you could have a collision anywhere in the 0-16km/sec relative velocity range.

If there is too much snow on the roof to use the falcon doors then you should have the driver get in up front, push on the accelerator for 4 seconds and then push on the brake. Now you can circle back and get the kids.

No, that wouldn't be better, but I have also never gotten such a call from a UPS driver. The UPS driver will just leave the box and go. There was absolutely no reason why this box of baby socks needed them to check with me before leavi

In safari I am able to rotate a pice by clicking, but I can only do it once for each piece. I am not sure if it is even still possible to complete it this way.

I think Uber deals with this by having an insurance policy that covers the workers while they are on duty. I am sure Amazon will do something similar.

I see the appeal for people looking to work, but as a customer I strongly prefer UPS, FedEx or USPS. Last week I got a phone call: "Hi, are you home right now?" It turns out it was actually an Amazon Logistics delivery person, but

Perl seems like a great language for a lot of text processing jobs, but while its learning curve isn't too steep, it goes on forever. I will continue to use it for quick little projects like cleaning up excel files, but I don't th

I am a mechanical engineer and lots of my friends have a thesis where appendix 3 is a bunch of printed MATLAB code. Of course in this case it doesn't matter because no one will ever read it.

In addition to the use in a regular landing, I see this being a huge benefit in a hard landing. The helicopters I have been in all had seats that collapse to absorb energy in a hard landing, and these legs could do the same thing with a rel

I am using 9GB on a 5s. 2 of those are pictures, and 2 of those are a single game. With bigger games and the fact that I might watch a movie on my iPad means that it often bumps against the 16GB limit, but it isn't as much of an issue
